Temple Run
South County is becoming more technological by the second. The iPhone is a particular example. It’s the most common phone in South County. However, there is an app that is spreading extremely quickly. It’s the game Temple Run.
Run, jump, and slide away from what students are calling monkeys. It’s the most downloaded free game. Everyone is trying to get the highest score. However, this game could also bring danger. Are South County students getting addicted? For now, enjoy the game, but don’t get glued to it.
